I would think RHT and Eddington are better horses than Scrappy T...

In my opinion Smarty was a better horse, but there's no arguing this with Repent. Why can't he just take this hatred to a horse that deserves it like Bernardini...

I meant that Scrappy T gave AA a hard time winning in the Preakness in almost falling on his face, yet AA still found a way to win. Just meant that AA faced trouble with other horses too. He just missed in the derby.

It really is a strong argument for both horses. They were both really nice horses who had a heck of a run at the triple crown.

P.S. RHT would have crushed both of them in their 4 yr old campaigns. (BUT THAT IS JUST MY OPINION).

And why should we hate on Bernardini? Shouldn't hate the horse. Horse is a good horse. Everyone is just tired of people calling him "GREAT". He hasn't proved that yet. To me anyway.

So don't hate any horse, they are only doing what they are asked to do. Hate the playas.
